Tampa Palms Community Spotlight
A mature New Tampa master-planned community with golf, lakes, and a deep oak canopy.
At a Glance
A ~5,500-acre master-planned community in New Tampa just east of I-75, with multiple gated villages, a country club, mature tree canopy, and a strong long-term resale market.
Did You Know?
Tampa Palms was one of the original master-planned communities that launched New Tampa in the late 1980s — much of the area's mature tree canopy was preserved as part of the original plan.
What Stands Out
A grown-in landscape that newer Tampa subdivisions can't replicate, with Tampa Palms Country Club at its center and direct access to I-75, USF, Moffitt, and Advent Tampa.

Realtor Tip
Tampa Palms has multiple sub-village HOAs on top of the master HOA — pull both governing documents and confirm gate access (some villages are gated, others are not) before showing.
